Vacuum Science and Technology

The Vacuum Science and Technology deals with all phenomena related with gas dynamics impacting the production, measurement, and analysis of vacuum. The division is interested in the vacuum properties of materials as permeability, absorption or desorption (outgassing, degassing), vacuum pumping and contamination, as well as new leak detection techniques and improved total and partial pressure measurements. Standards for these and other measurements are continually reviewed by the Division, and the division represents IUVSTA on ISO Committee TC112 on Vacuum Technology.

Topics

Main Vacuum Science and Technology topics include:

  • vacuum characteristics of materials (permeability, sorption, desorption, spontaneous or accelerated by physical processes, new materials),
  • Thin Films and Coatings for vacuum applications (e.g. SRF, NEG, SEY Reduction)
  • vacuum pumps (new devices, performance),
  • total and partial vacuum instrumentation (new devices, performance),
  • gas dynamics simulations (statics, time evolution, temperature, interaction residual gas/matter and high energy particles),
  • vacuum system for large applications (accelerators, cryogenics),

    • vacuum processing (surface preparation for vacuum use),

  • metrology/standards,
